Is a Canaan Dog Intelligence: easy to train?

The Canaan Dog is considered to have above-average intelligence, ranking 53rd out of 79 breeds in canine intelligence studies. While they score a 4/5 in obedience, indicating a good capacity for training, their independent nature means they are not always "easy" to train for novice owners. They excel in social intelligence (5/5), but their problem-solving and memory scores (both 3/5) suggest they may not grasp new commands as quickly as top-tier breeds.
